Samuel Pozzi, a Parisian surgeon and a founder of French gynaecology, stands full length in a scarlet dressing gown against a red curtain, his long fingers at his collar and waist. Sargent painted his friend in 1881, when Pozzi was thirty-four and already famous in Paris society, and showed it at the Royal Academy in London the next year. The almost monochrome red, broken only by the white of the shirt and the pale face, makes it one of his boldest portraits. It is in the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles.
This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.
Where it works
A full-length figure in blazing red for a study, hallway or dining room, framed in black. It needs a calm wall, white, charcoal or dark green, and works as a single statement piece.
